Actually, I did it backwards from most. I started bowhunting and have done that exclusively until now. I' m going to gun hunt this year for the first time!

I do both but I did not bow hunt this year. I haven' t harvested many bowhunting, but I find bow hunting makes me a much better hunter. It teaches me to cross my T' s and dot my I' s. I started bow hunting with a long bow, hunting rabbits. Now theirs a challange! I still cannot shoot a bow with sites.

I do both but for the last two years it has been only bow but not on purpose. I love to use my handgun Dan Wesson 445 supermag but have to go to PA to use it as NJ doen' t allow handguns here[:@]. IF they did I would use my bow early in the season and my handgun for the rest of the year.

I am like most whatever is legal I will be out there as long as I have the proper permits.

I like to rifle hunt but bowhunting is more challenging and more fun.

Gun season is perfect for any frustrating bow season[>:]
I like them both but each in different ways. I got alot more respect as a hunter after I killed my first animal with the bow. It definately makes you do your homework on all the aspects of hunting such as scouting, deer habits, stand & shot placement. I still love both my rifles & bow JDinAB

The only time I actively use a gun is during small game season. If I don' t fill my tags during bow season I' ll resort to firearms.
